Well, first person is more direct, and more conversational. You can use the character’s thoughts to great effect, just don’t overload them like I first did writing first person (pages of their thoughts, with no story happening)

AS for the prologue… actually, I think it’s good.
“And this certainly is” should be “And this certainly…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper

It’s obvious! Make the entire story about the villains, not the heroes! Change the point of view and focus in laser sharp on your villains character arcs. Villains deserve more attention anyway 😀

Well, seeing it’s a sequel, that might not actually work. Too bad.

If I were you, I would definitely take a break and work on…[Read more]

@his-instrument I would be willing to read them, if you still need someone to
That storyline sounds really interesting, 😀 by the way.
The main point is, you don’t want to mislead the reader with a super dark ending and then have them confused and probably annoyed when the entire story switches tone. So if the entire story isn’t meant to be dark,…[Read more]

@dekreel It’s your character changing over the course of your story. It’s them learning things, deciding things, being shown things about the world and changing on a deep level because of those things.

Usually, a character arc tracks the curve of how a character becomes a better wiser person over the story, but downward characters arcs can also…[Read more]

@gabbyj 😀 ha, thanks
I’m working on a bunch of projects right now! That are all kind of halted for various reasons
Two or them are short stories about Stan, one of them is a novella about a superhero, and I’m also working on the first book in my main series

😀 I’ve worked on filming a few different projects- two fantasy short films, and a couple…[Read more]

@jenwriter Yes, sad endings can be tough because readers might feel dissapointed- the thing you have to keep in mind, is there has to be some kind of goal achieved at the end to make the story feel worthwhile. So maybe the ending’s very sad, but it has to has glimmerings of hope and accomplishment to it- say, the queen gets kidnapped, the…[Read more]

@introvert_girl

Yeah, let me think… you need kind of a main point to the story so there can be a resolution

Maybe B has loads of homework to do and has to try to get A to help with it.

Maybe B doesn’t really like A, and doesn’t want to socialize with A, but has to because of the homework.

Maybe’s it’s B’s fault A got sick, and A’s mom is…[Read more]

@introvert_girl 😀 Cool idea

Hmm

Okay, I will use Stan as my character.

He would rather have a dog sized T-Rex (reptiles, and all)

He would rather forget about his family (They were quite cruel to him before I rescued him)

@princessfoo Stan would rather read a poorly-written book, ’cause he could critique it and write a better…[Read more]

@emily @shannon I asked Stan if he wanted to watch a movie. But he said no… now’s he’s munching popcorn and watching you girls instead

@winter-rose 😀 Yep, you may

You’re welcome 😀

Excellent 😀 I love when the plot’s down, it feels like you get a nice sense of direction

Now, just let us know when the finished product is finished being produced. I think I’ve accepted the fact that the literary version of me doesn’t have to line up exactly with my real self…

@seekjustice XD ;D He’s orange and yellow, mixed together. There’s a close up Dekreel drew for my cover photo

XD Maybe one of his relatives is dark blue

Dark blue would be a striking dragon color, now that I think of it

Like Saphira from the Inheritance Cycle

@gabbyj Hi :D, and welcome to the bestistest of all awesomeestist places on the internet

I love fantasy, too. I fantasize about fantasy. And so does Stan (Stan is a runt dragon and my best pal, he’s orange with spiky spikes spiking out all over him)

And I also like film-making 😀 I’ve only done a little bit of it, but I plan to do more at…[Read more]

@dekreel 😀 😀 Awesome
I can’t wait for more of it
Good job 🙂

@epicaddie2 @seekjustice 😀 I love it, it’s been one my favorites for a long time. It’s so meaningful and epic

@daughteroftheking ;D I laughed SO hard when I heard it for the first time in Not Today

@shannon Yes, I will definitely pray for his safety, and that God would give you trust
That sounds pretty awesome, but yes, it is somewhat dangerous

@singforjoy He’s orange and yellow, and he’s all covered in spikes. And his eyes kind of change cpolor from orange to yellow 🙂 Yep, dragons are really rare. I got him only because of how was thrown out of his nest
😀 My favorite Twenty One Pilots songs… Car Radio would be one, and Hometown, and The Judge, and Guns For Hands, and Holding on to You

@epicaddie2 😀 This is a really great idea
These ares some quotes that really inspire me

Just because I play the piano, doesn’t mean I’m not/I’m not willing to take you down… I’m sorry. – Tyler Joseph, Twenty One Pilots
😀 Okay, that’s one mostly just funny. But it makes me laugh XD

@dragon-snapper My repellent is salad dressing. Not sure why I’m giving away my weakness to an enemy, but it is…
